How to get over a cough quickly?

The cough isn’t the problem. It’s the post-nasal drip that s draining onto the throat and irritating it that is the problem.

Deal with the nose, and the cough will stop.

If there is goop in your lungs causing the cough, a decent OTC med could help. My daughter gave me some Mucinex which helped clear up my lungs nicely.

Most people who drink tea for a cough put honey in it. I find Hall’s cough drops helpful but if it is really bad, go to a doctor and get a prescription such as Tussinex. It will make you sleepy but that’s not bad with a cough – especially at night.

Medicinal Salsa. Lots of onion, garlic, and peppers. I have my own recipe. Eat it until you can’t stand the heat anymore, take a break, and eat some more. It will clear up a head cold tout suite and can tame a cough like nobody’s business.

Also attack the cold mentally by never acknowledging that you have a cold.

If you tell people that you have a cold then that gives the cold power.

I really believe that that works.

I never catch colds. But when I do I NEVER admit it. That decreases the cold’s impact on me and I get over it quicker also.

@AshlynM Put a generous amount of Vick’s Vaporub on your feet at night. Cover with socks. And this should relieve your cough. https://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2016/10/10/can-science-explain-why-vicks-on-the-feet-calms-a-cough/
